The interview will air on ABC News on April 30 at 10 p.m., according to the report. The same day, Knox will publish a book about being held in an Italian prison for nearly four years following her arrest.

Meredith Kercher, Knox's roommate in a student exchange program in Perugia, Italy, was found stabbed to death in the apartment the two shared in Nov. 2007. In 2008, Italian resident Rudy Guede was convicted of murdering and sexually assaulting Kercher, but prosecutors said Knox and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, also had a hand in her death.Photos: The best and worst Grammys performances

Knox and Sollecito were both found guilty of murder and sentenced to more than 20 years in prison, but were freed in October 2011, when the conviction was overturned on appeal, based on lack of evidence.
